Water → Dimethylsulfamic acid 2-hydroxy-3-(2-methoxyphenoxy)propyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 21.9 g (152.5 mole) of the dimethylsulfamoyl chloride prepared in (a) above in 60 ml of methylene chloride was added a solution of 7.6 g (0.038 mole) of 3-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-1,2-propanediol (glyceryl guaiacolate) and 12.1 g (0.152 mole) of pyridine in 40 ml of methylene chloride at such a rate that the reaction temperature was maintained at ≤12° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 4 days. Water, 200 ml, was added to the mixture and the layers were separated. The organic layer was washed successively with two 200 ml portions of 2N hydrochloric acid and 200 ml of water, dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give 11.6 g of yellow liquid. The liquid was purified by high pressure chromatography using a Waters Associates Prep LC/System 500 A with PrepPak® silica. Eluting solvent used was 10:1 mixture of methylene chloride to ethyl acetate at a flow rate of 200 ml/min. Fractions containing the title compound were combined and the solvents were evaporated under reduced pressure to give 3.9 g (33%) of title compound as a yellow, viscous oil.
